Blog Mission: Rise Activists is a blogspot that is intended to promote awareness, critical thought, activism and Islamic identity among Muslim youth. Part of this initiative is to directly affect self-development of the reader by challenging socio-political, spiritual and religious thought. It is our belief that strong communities and a stronger Ummah, derive their strength from holistic and God-conscious activists.

A Strong Mission Gives Good Results


I thought I would share this with some of the aspiring youth activists and organizers. This group came up with a beautiful charter which includes a mission, vision, etc. They put some hard work into it. I do hope they succeed in the endeavors. I know they will! Good job brothers!

Mission Statement (Bayaan Al-Muhima):

We are a youth-based Islamic brotherhood working to better the condition of our Ummah in the absence of the awaited savior, Imam Al-Mehdi [aj]. We seek to serve his ultimate mission of establishing peace and justice among humanity through self-building and encouraging socio-communal progress.

Vision (Ro‘iya):


We aim to build strong Islamic role models, valuable contributors to society and quality leaders within our brotherhood by providing a forum for mentorship, innovative religious activities, and community service. This will ultimately lead to a strong faith-based community.

Goals: (Ahdaaf)

1. Provide community service opportunities for the young Muslim brothers offered through local institutions, mosques, and organizations.
2. Proactive outreach initiatives to attract the young Muslim brothers of the community into faith.
3. Hold recreational programming including outdoor activities and sporting events for brothers.
4. Provide weekly programming appropriate for maintaining an Islamic environment for the brothers.
5. Proactive Outreach initiatives aimed at other faith and ethnic groups.

Mannerism of Those Who Wait (Adab Al-Muntathareen):

Manner 1. We will respect all institutions, organizations, scholars and reference authorities.
Manner 2. We will promote impeccable manners among the brothers by refraining from vain talk, back-biting, jest and time-wasting activities.
Manner 3. We will be good role models for the young and old by having positive attitudes, developing solid Islamic knowledge, and always having compassion and sincerity in faith and action.
Manner 4. We are life-long students of one another, respecting others and their ideals and promoting dialogue to foster the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood.
Manner 5. We will completely avoid environments that promote idleness and indecency, ensuring that we hold ourselves to the high moral standards befitting of a follower of the 12th Imam [aj.].
